RECENT STUDIES OF TICK-BORNE INFECTIONS IN MONGOLIA
We have aimed to detect both Rickettsiae species and Babesia microti in adult ticks of Dermacentor nutalli in Tuv province; and looked for only Rickettsiae species in Ixodes persulcatus in Selenge province. Using the PCR and DNA sequencing techniques, we amplified and sequenced the 16S rRNA, gltA...
